New Healthcare Law in Illinois: What You Need to Know
Illinois Governor Signs Landmark Legislation to Improve Patient Care
According to TheCenterSquare, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has signed a new law to help people get better healthcare. This law will make it harder for insurance companies to make it difficult for people to get the treatments they need. For example, some insurance companies have made people try medicines that don’t work well before they can try ones that do. This new law will stop that from happening.
The law will also help insurance companies be more honest about what treatments they require and make it easier for people to compare different insurance plans. This is especially important for people who need mental health care.
